Photographer's Note

‘Toledo – Cathedral and rooftops’

View over the rooftops towards the cathedral of Toledo, one of the greatest Gothic structures in Spain.
From a higher vintage point (like the roof terrace of a hotel) it’s easier to appreciate the scale of the cathedral.
Up close, in the surrounding streets or on the small square in front of it this is very difficult.

Toledo Cathedral stands on the site of the Great Mosque of Toledo, which itself had replaced a Visigothic church.
Built from 1226 to 1493, the long process is reflected in Toledo Cathedral's variety of styles.

Hello Paul!
Toledo is such a beautiful town! all in hills, stones, sun and kind spaniards.

I find very interesting to see the tree leafless there just aside the cathedral! It is a strong indication of when the photo was taken.

The light was rather harsh with this cloudless sky and strong spanish sun. However you make up for it with a strong composition, suing the superposition of rooftops leading to the masterpiece that is the cathedral.

Hi Paul.
This cathedral seems quite nice. I first thought there maybe was a better view to the cathedral another place, but yes, after reading your note I see that you probably did a good choice. This also includes a bit of the life around it too as well as it shows the size of it. TFS.

Hi Paul,
Across your photo I can see that you have visited Toledo recently, and also you have caught its great beauty.
Already you know that I love this city, and I believe that you have done a great photographic work, because of an excellent POV and a perfect framing to include the Cathedral, a tower of the Town hall and the nice roofs that surround it.
Beautiful composition.
Best regards,
Josep

Hello Paul,
The view of this historic city is simply beautiful. You have chosen a perfect point of view with so expressive composition. The tile roofs in the foreground and the cathedral in the background look great against the blue-blue sky. Excellent job!

Hi Paul.
Magnificent view of the Cathedral of Toledo with its elegant structure overlooking the surrounding rooftops. Beautiful colors and excellent brightness. A good job, congratulations.
Have a nice week.
Best regards.

Very nice view to the Cathedral and its surroundings, it is very interesting, from my point of view, to place monuments on its surroundings to know really well its importance and uses, to have an idea of history...Great colours and composition, and the play given by roofs, interesting and colourful...Very good!!

Hello Paul, This is a clear sharp photo of a lovely church. Excellent composition and good balance to the church. i.e level with the horizon. I have only been to Barcelona for a day in conjunction with a cruise, and I would love to visit Toledo, Granada and Madrid. Lucky you. My last time in Belgium was to the World's Fair there quite a long time ago. Regards, Roger

not only the cathedral has a superb and well outlined architecture but also the surrounding houses with their red roofs are a fine and interesting complement to it. The compo is well balanced and with a great sense of depth. I guess you took it from your hotel room, and in this case you should tell us the name!
TFS,
Donato
